Application iiled April 20, 1901.

To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FINLAY SIM, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Attleboro, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Support for Bed-Netting, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to anew article of manufacture intended to support the netting of beds at such points as the same may sag after continued use, and it consists in the novel structure and combination of parts illustrated in the drawings, wherein` Figure 1 is a side elevation of my device, and Fig. 2 a top plan view. l j

In the drawings like letters of reference refer to like parts throughout the views.

My device consists of a standard, preferably of metal, comprising a tapering hollow post et, rising from a base b. The latter has an annular depression c intermediate the foot of the post and the periphery of the base, in which rests the base d of a double spiral spring e. The adjacent coils of thedouble spiral are bound together at intervals by metal binders t. Fixed to and resting upon the top coil fm of the double spiral and parallel to the plane of the base is a circular top B, consisting of a circumferential metal ring Serial No. 56,686. (No modem `quirements.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, ish

As a new article of manufacture, a support for bed-netting consisting of a base provided with an upper circumferential channel, a hol-` low post projecting upwardly from said base, a double spiral spring resting in said channel, and consisting of two independent springs superimposed one on the other, said spring inclosing the post and supporting a top, means for binding the adjacent coils of the spring at intervals, and a reticulated metal top at-` tachedto top of the double'spiral, as described.

In testimony whereot` I have aiiixed my s gnature in presence of two witnesses.
